Brewers bullpen excels as team heads to first World Series since 1982
Summary

Relievers, including Aaron Ashby, DL Hall, and JoJo Romero, posted a 1.33 ERA in the postseason, allowing just six runs over 40 2/3 innings. This excellent performance helped the Brewers secure their first World Series berth since 1982, following a 3-1 series win against the San Diego Padres and a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
